What - are they going to see how many potato chips I have and fine me?

Hmmm, a lot of questions.

I wonder if there will be any "Do you keep any firearms in the house?" "Are they secured with gun locks?" "Are they loaded?"

The first mistake will be to let the yellow vested busybodies in the front door.

The only health information government will ever get on my family at my front door is the dental health of my dog.

Why does the phrase "secure in their persons" come to mind? Perhaps a pitbull in every yard is a good idea. And you know the smokers will be punished first. After they take a "snapshot" of the ashtrays they'll head on over to the pantry and fridge. All the while hoping to spy out any firearms.

Surveyors will wear yellow vests and carry photo identification

We've seen quite a few articles posted to FR on thugs masquerading as police doing no-knock raids in order to rob people. Guess in WA they've now been given a new fake identity to use while preying.

participants are being chosen to represent the diverse population of the state.

You can be certain that the results have also been "chosen", in a way that will maximize white liberal guilt, as well as governmental financial handouts to those who purport to speak for minority communities.

A nurse on each survey team will measure blood pressure, pulse, height, weight and waist size.

A blood sample will be taken to measure cholesterol and blood sugar.

A hair sample, to measure mercury levels, will be taken from women of childbearing age and participants 60 and older.

Participants will be given a $45 gift card for their help in the survey. Officials are not seeking volunteers; participants are being chosen to represent the diverse population of the state.

The survey is being financed by an $800,000 grant from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Kansas and Arkansas also were awarded survey grants.

Interesting...

Washington state health officials will soon start asking detailed questions about the health of some state residents

.........50 percent of whom will undoubtedly be either obese or smokers.

$45 gift card or not, if they show up at my door, it's "No thanks; get off my property."

How much do you want to bet one of the questions is "Are there any guns in the house?"
